A tragic love story of the most epic proportions, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack’s film helped spark the larger-than-life monster movie tradition. Victoria Riskin, author of Fay Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir (2019) and daughter of Fay Wray and Robert Riskin, will provide a special introduction and participate in a Q&A and book signing after the film.

Following a dangerous filmmaking expedition, megalomaniac director Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) hauls home a prized souvenir: a massive ape named Kong. Eventually breaking loose, the beast scours the streets of New York looking for Denham’s beautiful lead (Fay Wray), hoisting her to the top of the Empire State Building when his love goes unrequited. Featuring spectacular stop-motion animation from the legendary Willis O’Brien, King Kong continues to captivate audiences eight decades after its initial release.
